Notes:

I don't normally smoke Romeo Y Julietta, but only because I have a vague sense I don't like them. But that wasn't concrete, so I decided to give one a shot.

First off, the cigar bloomed in the tube. I bought it today, brought it home, opened up the tube and their was bloom. That was indeed a good sign. It also cut perfectly, and burned just as well. So from a construction point of view, it was extremely good.

As for taste, well, it wasn't offensive, but it's not quite my favorite. And since I paid over 5 for it, I think the value of the overall experience left something to be desired.

So if you like a woody, earthy cigar, then you will be pleased with this, as it is a decent value if you value those tastes. If not... well there are better values to be found.
